For a cheapish runner whats a XR4x4 like?
Best runabout i have EVER owned was the grey sierra GLS i owned last year. Was comfy, drove lovelly for an old car and was solid..doors shut solid etc..
So im kinda thinking about another. A XR4x4 has come up on ebay in my town. May go look but what are they like? As in, power etc?

It is a weird kind of win/win situation you get better mpg, at least another 45 bhp and no rattley tappets. I fitted one to my last 4x4 and there is no point wasting cash on a 12 valve engine if you want more speed when these are so cheap now.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Avoid the 2.0, it's ok, good on fuel and does the job, but they like head gaskets..
Never driven a v6, personally i'd rather a glsi for the wolf in sheeps clothing effect. Although the lack of toys would piss me off.
24v is the best option, they're always on ebay with a few minor niggles for under £1500.

ive had loads of them and they are good reliable cars the 2.8 id give it a miss the cat model 2.9 dont even bother with any at modelled xr4x4 as they are rp ad gutless best bet is gor non cat 2.9 as they have good power and rally torquey and can ave sum fun 24v are better as more power and quieter
